The Ministry of Commerce explained to businessmen the strategic position of Panama, the competitive advantages and the benefits it offers as an ideal place for foreign investment

A group of foreign investors, led by Kuwaiti businesswoman Dana Al Salem, came to Panama to learn about the competitive advantages and benefits that the country offers.

The aim is to identify business opportunities in key areas such as renewable energy, real estate, film production and tourism, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (Mici) said in a statement.

During their visit to the country, the foreign businessmen held meetings with the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Julio Moltó, and the Vice Minister of Foreign Trade, Carlos Hoyos.

Moltó highlighted to the delegation the strategic position, logistical capacity and competitiveness of Panama as an ideal location for foreign investment.

“Panama is the undisputed leader in services in the region, thanks to our logistics capacity and the infrastructure of the Panama Canal, which naturally position us as the epicenter for investments between the Middle East and Latin America,” said Moltó.

Vice Minister Hoyos, for his part, highlighted the interest in supporting initiatives that promote Panamanian culture, such as the creation of culinary routes and green tourism, as well as establishing regional film production centers and improving local agriculture.

On this visit to Panama, Al Salem, global technology entrepreneur and co-founder of Clockwork and Yahoo! Europe, was accompanied by Matthias Hollwich, founder of HWKN, a collective of architects and innovators based in New York.

Moody’s mejora la calificación crediticia de Omán tras señales de fortaleza fiscal

Muscat, Omán – 10 de julio de 2025. La agencia calificadora Moody ‘s ha elevado la calificación crediticia de largo plazo de Omán de Ba1 a Baa3, regresando así al nivel de grado de inversión. Esta mejora responde a las expectativas de una continua mejora en los niveles de deuda del país y a su resiliencia frente a posibles caídas en los precios del petróleo.

Según el informe publicado, Moody ‘s prevé que los indicadores fiscales de Omán se mantendrán sólidos incluso en escenarios donde el precio del petróleo caiga por debajo de su estimación media de 65 dólares por barril.

Este anuncio llega en un contexto de importancia geopolítica, con Muscat como sede de negociaciones diplomáticas entre Estados Unidos e Irán durante los últimos días, lo que refuerza el papel estratégico de Omán en la región del Golfo.

Desde Molina & Co, seguimos de cerca este tipo de noticias que pueden generar oportunidades y riesgos para nuestros clientes e inversiones. La mejora en la calificación refleja una mayor confianza en la estabilidad económica de Omán, lo cual podría traducirse en condiciones más atractivas para el financiamiento y la inversión en el país.
